Three days in the Alpilles
Saint-Rémy, Les Baux, Le Paradou: the golden triangle of Provence in slow, unhurried days — a hotel to come home to, tables that never cheat, houses where you buy things that last.
Alpilles & Luberon
Day 1 — Saint-Rémy-de-Provence
Set down your bags at the Vallon de Valrugues, then walk into the village: the terrace of the Café de la Place to take the town's pulse, Waho and Le Baume Intégral to bring Provence home with you. At the village gates, the Domaine de Métifiot opens its vines and olive oil — before dinner at the Bistrot des Alpilles on the Boulevard Mirabeau.

Days 2 and 3 — Les Baux, Maussane and Le Paradou
Les Baux, Maussane and Le Paradou share the same valley — everything is five minutes away, and you sleep where you please: at the Domaines de Chabran among the olive trees of Maussane, or at B Design & Spa, contemporary design at the heart of Le Paradou. Around them, two days compose themselves: the village of Les Baux and the Mas de la Dame for wines and olive oils, lunch at La Reine Jeanne below the castle, a glass under the plane trees of the Grand Café La Fontaine, the village tables — Bistrot Jaja and Bistrot Saint-Roch in Maussane, the ritual of the single set menu at the Bistrot du Paradou — and the Bergerie des Alpilles in the olive groves of Mouriès.
